Purity of Glands

by E.R. Webster - Leo

to be sure, I am pure
one with who I am
to be sure, my image is blurred
and my soul burns in the plam of my hand
to be forgotton, and lost in, this world of people
to be poppin, a cap in,  the heads of people
to kill is instinct, to love is logic
slaughter and mayhem are natural, but caustic
love and caring are what makes us human
I want this but cannot have it, denied by intuition
I look around and see, those would flirt with me
I look around and see, nothing but empty faces
and frilly laces, nike shoes, shirts and pants too
I feel lust, but not love
I feel more love for nature and all its wrecked buds
be aware, that I dont dare, express this to anyone
burning deep inside myself
like santa setting fire to all his elves
I am in pain, constantly in pain
I scream inside, but tell myself to shut the fuck up
why should I scream, its all in vain
in vanity, for the belief that I am alone
in truth, I seek, someone to call my own
but know, that I cannot accept any other
to be welcomed or worshipped
in my sick world of plunder
where I am slave to my egos throne
and just so you understand, just to drive this point home
I would rather be alone, than to know, I never was

Reason for writing:

    stress and loneliness...does anyone ever write a poem using "positive" emotions?  I dont anyways...
